In my spare time I usually make random cars not related to my main brand just for fun, as I don’t have a lot of ideas usually. This is just the landfill of all those random ones.
I found this game by “the grog man” (GrogTV) and got interested because making your own cars is really a delight. I have since bought it December of last year and have been an avid community member.
You won’t find lore here (some, actually.), but you will find weird things! Be on the lookout because I make a lot of these, and I mean a lot. Anyways, feel free to look at these!
It’s the sixties. The Soviet people are in desperate need of cheap things. Cheap transport. Cheap supplies. The M-20s can’t catch up to families. That’s when 2 years later, SAZ found out how to make transverse layout engines. They decided to start production on a car for the people and called it the 1265. It was compact. Cute, even. That earned it the nickname “Милый” (Milyy, meaning cute), which became an affectionate name for many. A year later, they decided to release a van version, dubbed the 1261. It had an uprated engine from the regular Милый to haul more weight. It soon became a popular fleet vehicle for the Militsiya, ambulances, and many uses. The wagon version also released that same year, called the 1266. It was marketed as “the perfect family car”, even though this thing had 2 doors. There was also a deluxe version, which had the uprated van engine equipped to the regular variant. It was finally killed around the 1980s, and SAZ released its successor a few years after its death.
1982 Italy. Tight roads and a crave for fuel economy.
Insino Automobili LLC designs a perfect formula for a small, efficient city car; ~1000 cc engine and a compact aluminum body just weighing about 900 kg.
That same year they released it, and it was the best seller of their brand.
This car is actually a recreation and improvement of one of the very first cars I made, the 1986 Infetino Coursea. That car was also my first car with an interior. Shocking!

What the Coursea should’ve been and more - that’s the Fitto in a nutshell. My only gripe with it is that its aluminum bodywork reduces production efficiency, whereas partial aluminum construction doesn’t - but otherwise, this is what an entry-level supermini of the era should look and feel like.
